Chapter 145: Title Reform
Han calendar year, cūn. **Free book TXT e-book download**
A new year, a new calendar, and a new palace.
And before the winter of last year, Port Royal finally completed the final construction, and now it can be put into use, Huang Yueying's ship drawings have also been sent to the Ministry of Industry, Huang Chengyan and a bunch of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry are discussing the construction plan of this ship, and it will not be possible to achieve results in a short time.
New Year's sacrifices, sacrifices to the ancestors, all kinds of cumbersome etiquette make Liu Xuan feel bored, but for the time being, he doesn't want to change these, at least this is a kind of culture, and if it can be passed on, it will be passed on.
What's more, after so many years, he has gradually become accustomed to it, but it is a pity that he did not get any rest time after the end of all kinds of etiquette, because the proposal put forward last winter: divide the army into two roads and pacify Yizhou and Jiangdong respectively, made the court busy up and down.
If you want to fight, there must be a lot of preparation to be done, not to mention the two-way army.
And more importantly, the significance of this war.
As long as this war is successfully concluded, then the Han Dynasty will stop the situation that has lasted for more than ten years, and the warlord separatism caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion will also be completely ended, and it will become a unified and powerful regime again.
The building is about to fall, but that's it.
If this is done, all the people in the court will be remembered in the annals of history, and some even think that even if they resign and return to their hometowns after the war, they can also be beautiful and become extremely famous people in the local area.
Of course, most people don't think about it, they think this is the best time to show their ability, especially after the unification of the world, the Son of Heaven must properly curb the power of the military attache group and begin to support the civilian system.
It's a pity that these people will never know that in Liu Xuan's development plan for the Great Han, the war will almost never stop, and even he wants to develop the Great Han into a huge and powerful terrifying beast with aggression, which will not only tear the guy who offends his majesty to pieces, but also keep eating everything around him that can be devoured, not even the bones left.
"In the battle of attacking Sun Ce, I will personally command the army to the south, and the forward general will be Lu Bulu Fengxian, the general of the expedition to the west!"
Looked left and right.
"Does anyone have anything to say?"
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, you look at me, I look at you, I feel that there is nothing to propose in this matter! This kind of war to recover the world, the emperor himself is also normal, even if the emperor does not exert any strength in the war, but the symbolic meaning is also extremely important. What's more, the emperor wants to make merit, who dares to say a word?
On the other hand, the attack on Yizhou has not yet been decided on the main general, so who will be sent to fight? Which people should be brought to fight? How to fight? From which direction? Now that the conclusion is not conclusive, there is no clue about it.
"As for Yizhou, I have set up a governor of Pingchuan, who do you think can take on this important task?"
The Governor of Pingchuan, as soon as he heard this name, he understood that the Son of Heaven not only wanted to destroy the Heavenly Master Dao, but also cleaned up Liu Zhang.
However, this is also a matter of course, but because of the geographical environment, this Xichuan is not so easy to fight, and although Liu Xuan has four Jīng Rui troops in his hands, except for the Tiger Ben Army and a trap camp, the other troops and horses are not suitable for fighting in Xichuan.
Originally, Liu Xuan wanted to wait until a light infantry unit was formed, or that his infantry could already march normally regardless of the terrain, even if they were wearing dozens of catties of heavy armor.
Alternatively, the Feather Forest Ride can be replaced with a flying mount.
But now there was nothing, but even so, Liu Xuan was confident that he would win the final victory—after all, the combat power of the imperial army was much higher than that of the Heavenly Master Dao. ..., even if the Heavenly Master Dao has some mysterious spells, it is a pity that there are only a small number of people in the Heavenly Master Dao who have mastered advanced spells, as long as they send excellent generals to contain this group of people, the Heavenly Master Dao has no chance of winning at all.
In addition to this, he also wanted his generals to get a little training.
The strength of the Heavenly Master Dao is not good, but because of the terrain advantage, coupled with the fact that it has the same fighting power as its own troops in terms of high-end combat power, in general, both sides have a chance of winning, but the imperial army is higher on this side.
And this kind of war can train their generals and let them know how to better exert their own power and the power of their soldiers.
You must know that Liu Xuan is going to colonize the universe in the future, if the generals have no experience in hard fighting, in case he encounters any trouble and the whole army is wiped out, he has no place to cry. So it's better to take this opportunity to practice your hands.
Chao Chinese Wu looked at each other again, and finally Cao Cào spoke: "The minister thinks that Guan Yunchang can take on this position!"
Guan yu?
Liu Xuan thought about it, there was really no more suitable person in the court than Guan Yu.
It's not that Guan Yu's ability is the strongest, if you talk about ability alone, the imperial court is full of talents, and Guan Yu's excellent generals can be counted at will.
But the key question is that those people have not been in the imperial army for a long time and their status is not high, who would let a forbidden military captain serve as the governor of Pingchuan?
In other words, among the suitable candidates, Guan Yu has the highest official rank, so Guan Yu is the most suitable! Not to mention that this time he marched into Xichuan, the Tiger Ben Army would definitely accompany him.
Because the trapped camp and the tiger armor soldiers are very critical combat forces, the only depressed thing is the tiger Ben jīng horse, but after the Qinling Mountains hit the Chengdu Plain, they will have the opportunity to show their strength.
What's more, in the last Hebei War, Guan Yu also made meritorious contributions, but because of his special position, he was not promoted for a while.
This time, he was appointed as the governor of Pingchuan, and it was also a signal to him: Your Majesty still remembers you, as long as you help the imperial court to fight in all directions, Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly. This time, I want you to command the army, and when I come back, I will give you an additional official and a knight!
"Xiahou Miaocai can be a deputy general!"
Xiahou Yuan has been guarding outside the Xiegu Pass in the past few years, and the Sichuan Di dare not say, but the road into the Sichuan must have been memorized, especially which places are easy to ambush, which roads are not conducive to the army, and which roads are easy for the whole army to suffer once they are stuck...... With Xiahou Yuan here, the risk of entering the river will also be much reduced.
"Very good!"
Liu Xuan nodded, and agreed with Cao Cào's proposal, and the next thing was much easier, nothing more than which generals to bring with him?
This matter is not only for everyone to discuss, but also to ask Guan Yu himself in detail.
In the end, the result of the discussion was that Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Liao Hua and others entered Sichuan with the army, in addition to Li Dian, Le Jin and others stationed in the northwest can also go south with the army, and Hao Meng and Wei Xu, who are stationed in the Meridian Valley, can also move with the army.
In this way, there are many generals, and then 50,000 forbidden soldiers, and the number of soldiers and soldiers of the follow-up counties and countries is even larger, and this number is at least 200,000, and such an army enters Sichuan, and Yizhou will inevitably return to the rule of the imperial court.
The Pingchuan army was decided, and the specific affairs were all busy by Guan Yu himself.
Cao Cào did not participate, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he gathered with several important ministers in the imperial study to discuss who should take over the position of the central protector.
Discussions came and went, but they couldn't think of any suitable candidates, although the imperial court was full of talents, it did not mean that anyone could serve in any position.
Some people already have an important position and can't move it, while others are not suitable for such a position. ..., thinking of this time, Liu Xuan hoped to pacify the two places as soon as possible, so that he could draw a large number of talents, and there would definitely be no such omission.
There was no result from the discussion, but the discussion about the title had already set the framework.
Liu Xuan abolished the system now in use, and instead restored the system of fifth-class titles for princes and uncles.
It is said that this system was first implemented in the Yaoshun period, and continued in the Xia Dynasty, while the Shang Dynasty abolished the son, male and secondary, etc.
The Zhou Dynasty restored the fifth-rank title system, but later many different low-rank titles were added to the feudal country, which made the title system begin to únlàn.
After the change, the Qin Dynasty set up the 20th rank of the Marquis of Che, and the Han Dynasty continued, and at the same time added the prince, at the beginning of the prince for the great merit can be awarded, and then changed to only the royal family can be crowned. Later, the Marquis of Che avoided Liu Che and changed to the Marquis, and then it has been used until now.
Liu Xuan now feels that these titles are too much, or the fifth-class titles are simple and clear, it just so happens that there are not many people with titles in the court now, after nearly twenty years, the original titles are almost dead, and if you want to reform, now is the best time.
Otherwise, when Liu Xuan's new group of subordinates have made more and more meritorious deeds, and more and more titles have been sealed, it will be even more troublesome if they want to change it, so it is better to solve it in one go now.
"Duke, uncle, the prince is only canonized to the royal family who have made significant contributions to the country!"
That is to say, except for the two original 'leftovers' of King Chen Liu and King Hongnong, if the royal family wants to be crowned king in the future, they must have great merits, otherwise even Liu Xuan's own son will not be crowned a prince - in fact, Liu Xuan cannot have a son, he has already refined his own body of jīng qi.
In addition, he himself is immortal, does he want his son to compete with him for power and profit? This move of his is actually to avoid the situation that the descendants of Liu Bei or Liu Xie and others will have a throne if they don't do anything.
In addition, Liu Xuan stipulated that under normal circumstances, the title cannot be hereditary, that is to say, Lao Tzu's merits are Lao Tzu's, and his son wants a knighthood?
Even what he did was so great that even the royal family was the same!
"This ......"
I didn't expect to be so ruthless today, but this order is undoubtedly good for the country, because it will reduce a lot of burdens.
The only thing that worries is the opinion of the clan relatives - but looking at the current situation and the power of today's son, those people don't seem to have the confidence to give their opinions.
